Fortunes in Story Papers.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta ConStltu ton. b
At the end OF forty hard years,
work, at the age Of 64, Bonner rel
tires from active business with a for
tune OF several million dollars. He
is surrounded by all the Iuxtlries OF
hfe. In his stable he has the peerless
Maud S., Dexter, the king of the turf,
the famous Rarus, and the magnif-
icent Edwin Forest. In his stock
farm at larry town he has the finest
animals in the world.
And this immense fortune was made
out OF a weekly story paper! 1t is.
enough to take matter ot-fact maf1's
breath away. but the next thing to.
gold mine is. a paper filled with pop
ular fiction. Bonner is not the only
man who has grown rich in his line
OF business Moses A. Dow, another
poor printer, started q weekly called
the Waverly Magazine in Boston and
made several millions out of it. The
Monroe brothers. two young farmers
from Nova Scotia, reached New York
some years ago with almost nothing
They commenced publishing chear
novels and story papers and soon be
came millionaires, with fine town anl
country residences, last horses and
fleet yachts.
All this shows not only that thersI
is big money in fiction but that thai
people OF this country are the great
est story readers IN the world.

Some Famous Christmas
Pies.

All boys and girls have read the old
aitty, telling how once four and TWEEN.
ty blaokbirds were baked in a pie, and
how, when the pie was opened, the
birds began to sing and they have
wisely considered the story a very I'M.
possible one, but it is not without
some foundation, after all. A COM
mon dish on Queen Elizabeth's table,
at Christmas and other great festivi-
ties, was, we are told, a monster bic,
from which, when opened, there flew a
number Of birds that, lighting in va
rious parts OF the dining oom, used to
sing sweetly to the guests at the table.
Another famous pie made its a D..
pearance at an entertainment given
by the Duke of Buckinham to Queen
Henrietta. the wife Of Charles the First.
OF England. When the crust was re-
moved, one Geoffrey Hudson, a tiny
dwarf dressed to represent Santa
Claus, stood revealed to the astoni sh-
ed company.
oJlll5 another celebrated Christine
pie was made in 1869, for Sir Henry
Grey. 1t was "eomposed Of 1.-TWO bush
els OF flour, twenty pounds OF butter,
four geese, two turkeys, two rabbits,
I two wild ducks. two woodcocks, six
l.snipes, four partridges, two neats'
tongues. two curleWs, seven black birds,
and seven pigeons"
This culinary marvel, as one may
well call it, was about nine feet in cir
c,lnference; it WEIGHED two hundred
pounds, and several strong men we're
required to bear it safely to the table.

gladly have eaten Toms luncheon en-

OF such an excess in the mans weak
ened state and restrained him. Pres
emily a sweet sleep settled over the
grateful eyes resting upon Toms, and
the old man knew that he had made
his Christmas gift to the world by
saving precious human life.
When Tom emerged next day from
the woods above the village he met;
long line Of friends and neighbors ad
vancing to meet him with gnns and
horns, as if he were some dreaded
enemy or wild man OF the woods. A
great shout went up as he came in
sight and little lad went flying down
the hill to bear the good news to the
loved ones at home. Then the throng
gathered about Tom, and as he stood
IN their midst he told them about the
white deer and the dying man in the
mountains. 'And now, friends" he
added, at the close, II have taken my
last deer hunt.
"Amen!' went up from every man
and boy III the crowd.
That night the starving man was
borne tenderly out of the wilderness,
and close behind him came following
the white deer. You might see it to-
day playing with the children in the
streets of-but that would be telling

Of the clearing stood small

and as he looked wonderingly up his
eyes met the grateful eyes of that

VALUE OF SALT.

The Many Ways in Which It Can Be Ad-
vantageously Used in the Household.
Salt in the whitewash will make it
stick better.
Wash the mica of the stove doors with
salt and vinegar.
Brass work can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with
salt and vinegar.
To clean willow furniture, use salt
and water. Apply it with nail brush
scrub well and dry thoroughly.
If, after having tooth pulled. the
mouth is filed with salt and water, it
it will ally the danger of having hem
orrhage.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
almost any thing that can be bought.
1t keeps the teeth brilliantly white and
the gums hard and rosy.
To wash silk handkerchiefs, soak them
first in cold salt and water for ten
minutes, or longer, then wash out in
the same water and iron immediately.
Carpets may be greatly frightened
by first sweeping thoroughly and then
going over them with clean cloth and
clear salt and water. Use a cupful of
coarse salt to a large basin OF water.
Nothing is better for a sore throat
than a gargle of salt and water. 1t
may be used as often as desired, and if
little is swallowed each time it is used
it will cleanse the throat and ally the
irritation.
Salt, in doses of one to four teaspoon
fuls in half a pint to pint of tepid
water, is an emetic always on hand.
This is also the antidote to be used after
poisoning from nitrate of silver while
waiting for the doctor to come.
If the feet are tender or painful after
long walking or standing, great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt and
water. A handful of salt to gallon OF
water is the right proportion. Have the
water as hot as can comfortably be
borne. immense the feet, and throw
the water over the legs as far as the
knees with the hands. When the water
becomes too cool, rub briskly with
flesh towel. This method, if used night
and morning, will cure neuralgia of the
feet.-Go0d Housekeeping.

The Easy Familiarity of tho Pigeons OF

Within twenty PAGES of st. Marks

PAMELA, venerable time-worn tower
more than ten centuries old, still rails
ing its head cloudwards as proudly and
ieiiantly as in those checkered days
long since gone by when it tloated its
lights on the shores of the Adriatic,
and announced to the incoming Seamen
and travellers in the oifing that they
were in sighting distance of the capital
Of the glorious republic of Venice.
Equally old and equally venerable are
the figures of the two majestic lions
crouching near one of the lateral wings
of ST. Mark s-their fangs drawn and
.heir faces distigured by the wear and
tear of ages-sing ularly interesting
looking pieces of sculpture, which are
in themselves so many links that bind

ent-romping about as he was in such
close proximity to the cathedral. Mr..
H., the Hibernian in question, was,
however, playing his part in a little
comedy meant to surprise ME. After
attracting the notice of the pigeons on
the piazza, he covered his own shoulders
and mine with fresh white crumbs, and
when, 10! in the twinkling of an eye
the whole square seemed to disappear
from my gaze, and l could see nothing
around me or over me save one whirr
ing mass of pigeons. They perched on
my hat, fastened themselves to the
panels of my overcoat and clustered
in legion numbers all over my person.
These birds are very tame-the tamest,
fancy, in Europe. Tradition and
custom have made them SO, for from
time immemorial the Piazza San Marco
has been their abiding place, and well
tended they have been and are by the
hurghers and DANES of the city. There
must be over thousand of these
pigeons lowering over the piazza.
There is always somebody about throw
ing them their crumbs, or a little

and treat them to what Sam Lover

METROPOLITAN LIFE.

New York Women Who Are Compelled to
Perform Unfeminine Labor.
One of the most painful features in
metropolitan life is the degradation of
women. l do not here refer to any
thing of a vicious nature, but simply
to the effect of extreme poverty. 1t is
always pitiable to see the sex forced to
unfeminine employments, but it is a
common thing here. l have seen a
woman cutting grass with a sickle in
an uptown lot in order to make hay
for the winter support of a goat l
have seen woman bring home board
from some demolished building and
then try to break it up for fuel by
pounding it on the sidewalk with
stone. / saw another woman carrying
coal in pail up three pairs of stairs
to her room in a tenement house. She
had bought small load of this article,
and was thus storing it away. A large
part of the chiffoniers or rag and
waste-papcr pickers are women, and
what horrid-looking creatures they
are!
On the other hand, a dealer in
fashions told me that there are hun
dreds and even thousands of women
who spend $4,000 annually on dress.
1t may be difficult to imagine the feel
ings OF this fashion-worshiping crowd,
but how much more to imagine those
of a woman SO degraded that a rag
picked from the street is prize. TAX
ing general view, New York life is
not favorable to women. Among the
rich the idleness Of luxury wastes its
victims into helplessness, while among
the poor one notices that dlspropor-
Tomato degree of hardship which SO
often stamps the countenance with
fearful ugliness.-N. y. CIR. Utica Her.
